GTR Evolution is definitely an evolution of the series, as opposed to a revolution, and while the game is in need of a graphical overhaul, the rest of the game is all you could ask from a racing sim.

The only thing crazy about this mouse is that he got his own game that isn't some free-to-play Flash disaster. Instead, it's 400 Microsoft Points and not worth every cent. With excellent similar games on Xbox Live Arcade like Pac-Man: Championship Edition, this one is outclassed at every turn.

Rain Drops, from UFO Casual, seems to think casual gamers will play any match-three game put in front of them. But no matter how intense your enthusiasm for games is, we all want something fun and addictive to play. Rain Drops is neither. It never gives the player a reason to keep playing, and the typos even get in the way of progress. There are too many other good DS games in this genre to recommend this one. Trudging out into this rain will just wear you down.

Cabela’s Dangerous Hunts 2009 incorporates aspects of the hunting, adventure and first-person shooter genre, but doesn’t do any of it particularly well. It doesn’t require any strategy to hunt down your prey, and once you have located your target you shouldn’t have any trouble taking it down with a well-placed shot or two, and those facts conspire to make the hunting experience entirely un-gratifying. The adventure aspects of the game don’t require any strategy or problem solving either, acting instead as stilted interludes used to fill the space between point-and- shoot hunts. While this game has some fun novelty appeal, it has very little lasting appeal and is definitely a better rental than purchase.

NBA Live All-Play seems to have made small strides this year on polishing a few aspects, and building on the original Wii design, but it isn't enough. This is the second year on Wii that we've played EA's NBA product, and for the second time in a row we've been welcomed by a game that's more offense-focused than NBA Jam, and a mess of gameplay bugs, interface issues, and overall sloppy development. Maybe the issue is a lack of time or budget, and if not, the franchise might be better suited for a different developer. Tiger struggled at first on Wii, and within one year of serious, committed development, has become one of the top franchises on Wii, and a possible sports game of the year over EA's own Madden. NBA can succeed, but in its current state, it's little more than EA's own brand of shovelware. Hopefully that can change for 2010, as an amazing basketball game can be made on Wii, and Nintendo is now providing even more tools to make that happen. Only time will tell though, and until then, NBA fans would do well to wait it out for next year.

Though you might be tempted to try out a music game on XBLA, this is not the one for you. Microsoft's Go! Go! Break Steady, while not brilliant, is far superior to this sorry offering. Beat'n Groovy is, in fact, not groovy at all. Awful songs, goofy visuals and poor design make this one of the worst games available on Xbox Live Arcade.

Cubello is a pretty impressive product, and a game that embraces the idea of WiiWare entirely. It's one entertaining core concept, and it's done with simplicity and polish. The game isn't much of a looker -- even Orbient is better looking -- but the presentation is slick, despite being devoid of more modes or options. Even the audio, which is done with robotic VO that keeps the chatter up every time you get bonus time unlocked or blow off a set of cubes is decent, but can get a bit annoying after a while. We played this one in our office at a regular level, and our co-workers wanted to kill us before a single match was done; these are people that hear Wii games all day, every day, mind you. Still, despite all the quirks and oddities that come with Cubello, there's also a simple charm that makes it really fun, and a great little download. At 600 points, and only 47 blocks (that's less than most Super NES games), this is a simple, entertaining little title that can -- and should -- fit perfectly in your packed fridge.

Tiger Wood PGA Tour 09 è indubbiamente il miglior simulatore di golf presente sul mercato ed un prodotto consigliato per tutti coloro che amano o vogliono avvicinarsi a questo affascinante sport. Il vero problema risiede nel fatto che, ad oggi, è possibile trovare la versione 2008 a cifre ridicole, vanificando in questo modo i risibili miglioramenti apportati in questo aggiornamento. Se opterete per questo titolo troverete comunque una simulazione in grado di divertire grazie alle sue molteplici modalità on ed offline, la customizzazione dei personaggi e un gameplay facile da imparare, ma complesso da padroneggiare.

But beyond minor little differences like the Group Battle mode, this version of Street Fighter II just proves to be redundant here on the Virtual Console. While it is still a fine game on its own merits, there's very little reason to download Special Champion Edition when another, better edition of Street Fighter II is already on sale in the Wii Shop for the exact same price as this one. There will certainly be a few Genesis fans who rejoice at this specific version's arrival, and will purchase it out of a strong sense of nostalgia for this particular release. But everyone else is much better off getting more features and more characters for their money with Super Street Fighter II. And Capcom, let this be the end of it. If you also decide to bring out the Genesis version of Super Street Fighter II, you'll just be wasting everyone's time.
